Chapter 541 - 541: Very Far

"You two can go back. I'll meet you tomorrow. I'll be entertaining my guests for now," Hun told the two fox-eared ladies who were standing in the back.

The ladies nodded and retreated.

"Follow me," Hun said, looking back at Lucifer, but he stopped as he thought of something. "No, wait, you walk ahead. I'll tell you directions as I walk behind."

He didn't want to be attacked from the back. Who knew if this was the plan of these strangers? They wanted to make him lower his guard so they could attack him from the back. He couldn't lower his guard before reaching home.

"If that's what you want." Lucifer shrugged. Without fear, he took the lead with Jenilia and Salazar.

Hun walked in the back. "We'll need to walk for about half an hour to get there. Walk straight. I'll tell you when it's time to turn."

"Can't you fly?" Lucifer asked the young man. "That should be faster."

"What? You mean you can fly?" Hun asked, surprised.

"All three of us, in a way," Lucifer replied. "You can't?"

"A Flying High Beast Species. We only have two in our city. To see three High Beasts that could fly at once, all from different species... Very surprising. So, which city are you from? And how come you three ate so close?"

"Is it rare for High Beasts to be close?" Lucifer asked, conveniently avoiding the question about the city.

"I'm not sure about your city, but it's certainly rare in ours," Hun answered. "Generally, High Beasts don't make friends with other High Beasts."

"And why is that?"

"Why? I don't think even I know the answer to that question. Maybe you can give credit to our wild instincts? Or you can give credit to the family influence and other factors. That's just the reality of our world." Hun sighed.

"Anyway, you didn't answer. Which city are you from?"

"We..."

"Why are you hesitating in answering? If you want me to trust you, shouldn't you also trust me? Which city are you from?"

"We are from Alacaster," Lucifer replied, making up a name.

He knew that there was more than one city, so there was a good chance for there to be cities that were unknown to Hun. He could make up one city and just hope that he wouldn't dig deep.

"Alacaster? I don't think I ever heard about that city. Where is it?"

"It's deep in the North, very far from here. We've been on a trip to see the whole world. In fact it had been over six months since we left home," Lucifer replied. "We have seen many cities along the way as well."

"Ah, so you're not from this region either. Flying for six months... I'm not sure about your speed, but it must be a lot of space covered. Your city is so far away; that's probably why we don't know about it," Hun muttered, rubbing his chin.

"So you left to see the world? Ah, I get it now! Did you want to ask me for directions? But you could've asked that before others too. Then what..."

" Ah, that's right! You must be tired after traveling for so long. You probably want a place to rest. And it'll certainly be odd for you as a High Beast to ask for such help from me before the commoners. Am I right?" Hun asked.

"That... That's right. We need a place to rest. Moreover, since we're not from here, there needs to be no conflict between us. Moreover, won't you want to experience what it's like to have High Beasts as a friend? No family equation here," Lucifer answered.

He wanted to ask about the way to get back, but now that he had this opportunity, he couldn't say no. If he could stay with a High Beast and get close to him, he could ask much more complicated questions later.

"Letting you stay with me... Hmm, we do have a big place. We can arrange a place for you, but that won't be all. I certainly need the permission of my father for it," Hun muttered. "Maybe I can convince him."

"Your father?"

"That's right. He is the head of the family. What he says goes. So if he says no, we can't let you stay here," Hun answered, sighing.

"Anyway, I don't know why, but I really don't get that repulsive feeling from you three that I get from other High Beasts of this city. Maybe it's because you're not from here? Or maybe it's because of your species? Which species are you?"

"Species?" Lucifer asked.

"Yeah. Like I am a Snow Wolf. What are you?" Hun asked.

Lucifer didn't know what to answer. He didn't know what High Beast Species were there. He could lie about the city, but could he lie about the species? There was a possibility that he could since it was impossible for this guy to know all species in existence, but he chose against answering.

"That reminds me. When we were coming to the city, we saw a bird made of fire. Which species was that?"

"Ah, you're talking about that Phoenix? You know how I said I feel repulsive when in the presence of High Beasts? She is one of those High Beasts. She is from the Phoenix Clan. Her fire and my ice don't have an affinity in the first place, so I'm not surprised why I feel that way," Hun answered.

"The Phoenix Clan is a High Beast Clan that lives here, not it's the smallest Clan since it only has two members, the Clan Matriarch and the girl you saw," he added.

"How many members does your clan have?" Lucifer asked.

"Seven, including me. We don't have that many people either, but we're certainly doing better than them," Hun replied. "Anyway, I'm surprised that you didn't know about the Phoenix Clan. They're pretty popular in the nearby cities."

"Popular? Why?" Lucifer asked.

"No reason. I guess they are just popular for no reason at all. If I were to guess, I would say that it's because of their beauty which I fail to see," Hun said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Anyway, you didn't answer. What's your species?" he asked.

Lucifer opened his lips, thinking of a way to change the topic again, but he didn't need to.

The temperature started rising slightly.

"Hmm? Speak of the devil, and there she comes," Hun let out, shaking his head.

He could see a burning Phoenix flying towards him.

"Hmm? The Thunder Lion is coming too?" His frown deepened as he noticed a blue lion running towards him.
